The Department of Homeland Security has made news in the past few weeks with the revelations that they have purchased up to 650 million rounds of .40 caliber hollow point ammunition.
Now, despite ignoring requests as to why they need that much ammo, they have moved forward and purchased an unknown amount of bullet resistant booths to possibly be stationed at unannounced checkpoints throughout the country.
A press release from the company that supplied the booths bragged about the sale:
Press release date: April 4, 2012
Owner: Department of Homeland Security
Project Description:
Shelters Direct provided the Department of Homeland Security with this 4×13 Steel UL 752 Level 3 Bullet Resistant Booth.
This guard building features a standing seam hip roof, a thru-wall HVAC unit, (2) UL 752 BR Level 3 sliding doors, UL 752 Bullet Resistant Level 3 glass and a Low]E coating.
These booths seem destined to be used at checkpoints throughout the country as DHS and other government agencies continue their full scale takeover of America.

Good points. How about slugs on Level 3?
ReplyDeleteHow many different manufacturers/suppliers does it take to fill a 650 million round order? In 06 the military in Iraq required 1.5 billion rounds of 5.56,7.62 and .50 caliber ammo at 250 thousand rounds per kill.
ReplyDeleteHow prevalent are .40/10mm sub-machine guns in federal law enforcement arsenals?
Most level III will stop slugs and oo buck.
